John Pork

A man's body, a pig's head, and a ringing phone. "John Pork" was an AI-generated Instagram character who, in early 2023, became one of the internet's strangest viral sensations through the "John Pork is calling" format, a fake incoming-call screen you were dared to answer. From there the meme grew a whole brainrot mythology: his on-screen "death," the "Free John Pork" mourning, the Tim Cheese / Simon Claw extended universe, and the endless 2025 revivals. This is the complete lore of the pig who calls.

A chronological documentary of 87 moments spanning 2023–2026 on Loreline.
